FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure generally relates to micro light emitting diode technology field and, more particularly, to a multi-color LED pixel unit and a micro LED display panel.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A light emitting diode (LED), which is a kind of semiconductor diode, can convert electrical energy into optical energy. A conventional light emitting diode includes a P-N junction having unidirectional conduction. Under a positive bias, holes flow from a P region into an N region and electrons flow from the N region into the P region, and the combination between the electrons in the N region and the holes in the P region produces spontaneous radiation of excitation light. The electrons and the holes have different energy states in different semiconductor materials, therefore the energy produced by the combinations between the electrons and the holes are different. The higher the energy, the shorter the wavelength of the excitation light. Therefore, the LED can emit different light at different wavelengths from ultra-violet light to infrared light, thereby producing a multi-color LED.

The multi-color LED emitting white light or another color light has wide applications, most of which are in the display field. A conventional LED display panel is formed by assembling a monochromatic LED one by one on a substrate. The method for assembling a monochromatic LED includes: bonding the LED by metal wires or connecting electrodes of the LED with an interconnection layer by a metal bonding process or another process. The process of assembling another color LED is not performed until the process of assembling the monochromatic LED is finished, causing a complicated process, increased processing difficulty, and increased production cost. In addition, the multi-color display panel fabricated by assembling or forming single LEDs one by one has a higher power consumption and a decreased luminance and color.

Hereinafter combined with FIGS. 1 to 40, the present disclosure is further described by the embodiments of the disclosure. It should be pointed out that all appended drawings adopt a very simplified form and imprecise scaling is merely used to assistant explain the embodiments of the disclosure conveniently and clearly.

A multi-color light emitting pixel unit disclosed herein at least includes one type of light emitting transistor, or several types of light emitting transistors. Each type of light emitting transistor includes an upper conductive layer, a bottom conductive layer, and a light emitting layer between the upper conductive layer and the bottom conductive layer. All of the light emitting transistors share the same upper conductive layer and the same bottom conductive layer. It should be noted that, the light emitting layer can be a single layer or multiple layers. A middle layer can be arranged between two of multiple light emitting layers in a same light emitting diode. It is assumed that a multi-color light emitting pixel unit includes first to Mth types of light emitting transistors, where M is an integer and not less than two. Each one of the first to Mth types of light emitting transistors at least includes a same type of light emitting layer. For example, each one of the first to Mth types of light emitting transistors includes a first type of light emitting layer. Any one of the second type to Mth type of light emitting layers is different from the first type of light emitting layer. A micro display panel including a plurality of the pixel units mentioned above arranged in a matrix is also provided in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the light emitting transistor can be at least one of a light emitting diode (LED), a Schottky light emitting transistor, and etc. The top conductive layer of the light emitting transistor is, but not limited to, a transparent conductive layer, and the bottom conductive layer of the light emitting transistor is, but not limited to, a metal layer. Hereinafter, the LED is used as an example of the light emitting transistor, but this does not limit the scope of the present disclosure. A person skilled in the art can change the LED to another light emitting transistor according to conventional technical means.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a multi-color light emitting pixel unit 1000, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 1000 includes, at least, a first type of LED 01 and a second type of LED 02 arranged side by side on a substrate 100. The top of the first type of LED 01 and the top of the second type of LED 02 are not at a same horizontal plane. The type of the first type of LED 01 is different from that of the second type of LED 02. Herein, as shown in FIG. 1, the top of the first type of LED 01 is lower than that of the second type of LED 02. According to an embodiment, the first type of LED 01 is selected from one of a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, a yellow LED, an orange LED, or a cyan LED, and the second type of LED 02 is selected from one of a green LED, a blue LED, a red LED, a yellow LED, an orange LED, or a cyan LED. Additionally, the size of a light emitting area of the first type of LED 01 is different from that of the second type of LED 02. For example, the first type of LED 01 is a red LED, the second type of LED 02 is a green LED, and the size of the light emitting area of the red LED is different from that of the green LED. Furthermore, according to different color that may be needed, the light emitting area of the green LED can be smaller than that of the red LED.

In addition, an isolation structure 07 is arranged between the first type of LED and the second type of LED. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the isolation structure 07 between the first type of LED 01 and the second type of LED 02 is an isolation trench. The multi-color light emitting pixel unit 1000 includes a first metal layer, a first type of light emitting layer, a second metal layer, and a second type of light emitting layer. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the first type of LED 01 includes, at least, a first segment of a first metal layer 101-1 and a first segment of a first type of light emitting layer 102-1 in an order from bottom to top. The first segment of the first metal layer 101-1 constitutes a bottom conductive layer of the first type of LED 01. The second type of LED 02 includes, at least, a second segment of the first metal layer 101-2, a second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2, a first segment of a second metal layer 201-1, and a first segment of a second type of light emitting layer 202-2 in an order from bottom to top, and a first electrical connector 203. The first segment of the first metal layer 101-1 and the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 are electrically connected with the substrate 100. The isolation structure 07 isolates the first segment of the first metal layer 101-1 in the first type of LED 01 from the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of LED 02. The isolation structure 07 also isolates the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1 in the first type of LED 01 from the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2 in the second type of LED 02. Additionally, in order to simplify the manufacturing process, the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1, the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2, and the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of LED 02 are electrically connected with each other by the first electrical connector 203. According to one embodiment, the first electrical connector 203 can be attached to and contact part or all of the side wall surface of the second type of LED 02. Alternatively, the first electrical connector 203 can be attached to and contact only the surface of the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1 and the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of LED 02. Still alternatively, the first electrical connector 203 can be formed as a conductive side arm attached to and contacting the sidewalls of the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1, the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2, and the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2. The electrical connector 203 between the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 and the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1 in the second type of LED 02 can have another shape, such as a curved line. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the first electrical connector 203 is attached to the sidewall of the second type of LED 02, so that the first electrical connector 203 conforms to the surface topography of the side wall of the second type of LED 02.

Referring to FIG. 1, a top isolation layer 04 and a top transparent conductive layer 05 are arranged on the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1 in the first type of LED 01 and the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1 in the second type of LED 02. The top isolation layer 04 covers the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1, the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, and the exposed substrate 100. The top isolation layer 04 has openings exposing portions of the top surfaces of the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1 and the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1. The top transparent conductive layer 05 covers the top isolation layer 04 and is formed in the openings of the top isolation layer 04, and thereby contacts the exposed top surfaces of the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1 and the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1 via the openings.

The substrate 100 is an integrated circuit (IC) substrate. The IC substrate includes an interconnection layer, which is electrically connected with the first segment of the first metal layer 101-1 in the first type of LED 01 and the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of LED 02. Since the first electrical connector 203 is connected with the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of LED 02, the first electrical connector 203 is connected with the interconnection layer in the substrate 100. In addition, referring to FIG. 1, the bottom of the first electrical connector 203 extends to the substrate 100 to connect with the interconnection layer. Herein, the IC substrate at least includes a drive circuit. The drive circuit controls every LED separately.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a multi-color light emitting pixel unit 2000, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 2000 includes, at least, the first type of LED 01, the second type of LED 02, and a third type of LED 03, which are arranged on a same substrate 100. The third type of LED 03 is different from the first type of LED 01 and the second type of LED 02.

For example, a red LED is selected as the first type of LED 01, a green LED is selected as the second type of LED 02, and a blue LED is selected as the third type of LED 03. Referring to FIG. 2, the height of the third type of LED 03 is different from that of the first type of LED 01. Furthermore, the height of the first type of LED 01 is different from that of the second type of LED 02, while the height of the second type of LED 02 is the same as that of the third type of LED 03. In other embodiments, the height of the third type of LED 03, the height of the first type of LED 01, and the height of the second type of LED 02 can be different from each other, as shown in FIG. 3.

In the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 2000, the structures of the first type of LED 01 and the second type of LED 02 are the same as those of the first type of LED 01 and the second type of LED 02 in the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 2000, and therefore detailed descriptions thereof are not repeated. The third type of LED 03 in the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 2000 includes, at least, a third segment of the first metal layer 101-3, a third segment of a first type of light emitting layer 102-3, a first segment of a third metal layer 301-1, and first segment of a third type of light emitting layer 302-1 in an order from bottom to top, and a second electrical connector 303 connecting the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3 and the first segment of the third metal layer 301-1. The multi-color light emitting pixel unit 2000 also includes a top isolation layer 04 covering the first type of LED 01, the second type of LED 02, and the third type of LED 03, and having opening exposing a portion of the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1 in the first type of LED 01, a portion of the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, and a portion of the first segment of the third type of light emitting layer 302-1. A top electrode layer 05 is formed on top of the top isolation layer 04 and contacts the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1, the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, and the first segment of the third type of light emitting layer 302-1 via the openings of the top isolation layer 04.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a multi-color light emitting pixel unit 3000, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3, in the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 3000, the top of the third type of LED 03 is higher than that of the second type of LED 02, while the height of the first type of LED is different from that of the second type of LED 03.

FIG. 4 is a top view of the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 4000, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The multi-color light emitting pixel unit 4000 can be the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 2000 illustrated in FIG. 2 or the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 3000 illustrated in FIG. 3. FIG. 4 illustrates the arrangement of the three types of the LEDs 01, 02, and 03 in a pixel unit, but the present disclosure also includes other arrangements, such as a matrix. Herein, the size of the light emitting area of the third type of LED 03 is different from that of the first type of LED 01 and is different from that of the second type of the LED 02. For example, the first type of LED 01 is a red LED, the second type of LED 02 is a green LED, and the third type of LED 03 is blue LED. The size of the light emitting area of each one of the first, second, and third type of LEDs 01, 02, and 03 can be determined according to the required light color to be emitted by the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 4000. When white light is required, the size of the light emitting area of the red LED is larger than that of the green LED, and the size of the light emitting area of the blue LED is larger than that of the green LED. As shown in FIG. 4, the space between the red LED and the blue LED is larger than the space between the blue LED and the green LED; the space between the red LED and the green LED is larger than the space between the blue LED and the green LED, so as to achieve a better light emission effect.

Referring back to FIG. 3, an isolation structure 07 is arranged between two of the first type of LED 01, the second type of LED 02, and the third type of LED 03. The isolation structure is an isolation trench. The first type of LED 01, the second type of LED 02, and the third type of LED 03 are formed from a first metal layer 101, a first type of light emitting layer 102, a second metal layer 201, a second type of light emitting layer 202, a third metal layer 301, and a third type of light emitting layer 302. The first type of LED 01 and the second type of LED 02 in FIG. 3 are the same as the first type of LED 01 and the second type of LED 02 in FIG. 2. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the first type of LED 01 includes, at least, a first segment of a first metal layer 101-1 and a first segment of a first type of light emitting layer 102-1 in an order from bottom to top. The second type of LED 02 includes, at least, a second segment of the first metal layer 101-2, a second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2, a first segment of a second metal layer 201-1, and a first segment of a second type of light emitting layer 202-1 in an order from bottom to top, and a first electrical connector 203.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first segment of the first metal layer 101-1, the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2, and the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3 are electrically connected with the substrate 100. The first electrical connector 203 in the second type of LED 02 electrically connects the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1 with the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2. The second electrical connector 303 in the third type of LED 03 electrically connects the first segment of the third metal layer 301-1 with the second segment of the second metal layer 201-2 and the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3. The isolation structure 07 isolates the first segment of the first metal layer 101-1 in the first type of LED 01 from the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of LED 02 and the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3 in the third type of LED 03, isolates the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1 in the first type of LED 01 from the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2 in the second type of LED 02 and the third segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-3 in the third type of the LED 03, isolates the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1 in the second type of LED 02 from the second segment of the second metal layer 201-2 in the third type of LED 03, and isolates the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1 in the second type of LED 02 from the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2 in the third type of LED 03. It should be noted that, the first electrical connector 203 is used to connect the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2 with the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of LED 02, while the second electrical connector 303 is used to connect the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2 and the third segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-3 with the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3 in the third type of LED 03. Thus, in order to simplify the manufacturing process, in the same manner as FIG. 1, the first electrical connector 203 further connects the second segment of first type of light emitting layer 102-2 with the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2. That is, in the second type of LED 02, the first electrical connector 203 connects the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1 and the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2 with the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2. The second electrical connector 303 further connects the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2 with the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3. That is, in the third type of LED 03, the second electrical connector 303 connects the first segment of the third metal layer 301-1, the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2, and the second segment of the second metal layer 201-2 with the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3. Alternatively, the second electrical connector 303 further connects the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2 and the third segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-3 with the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3. That is, in the third type of LED 03, the second electrical connector 303 connects the first segment of the third metal layer 301-1, the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2, the second segment of the second metal layer 201-2, and the third segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-3 with the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3. In addition, the bottom of the first electrical connector 203 and the bottom of the second electrical connector 303 separately and directly contact the substrate 100, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process. It should be noted that the materials of the first electrical connector 203 and the second electrical connector 303 are formed of conductive metals. In an embodiment, the second electrical connector 303 is attached to and contacts the side wall surface of the third type of LED 03.

In one embodiment, the first type of light emitting layer is a red light emitting layer, the second type of light emitting layer is a green light emitting layer, and the third type of light emitting layer is a blue light emitting layer, the first type of LED 01 is a red LED 01, the second type of LED 02 is a green LED 02, and the third type of LED 03 is a blue LED 03. In the red LED 01, an electrical voltage applied between the top transparent conductive layer 05 and the first segment of the first metal layer 101-1 is applied to the first segment of the red light emitting layer 102-1. As a result, the first segment of the red light emitting layer 102-1 in the red LED 01 emits red light. In the green LED 02, the first electrical connector 203 electrically connects the second segment of the red light emitting layer 102-2 with the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2, such that an electrical voltage applied between the top transparent conductive layer 05 and the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 is only applied to the first segment of the green light emitting layer 202-1. As a result, only the first segment of the green light emitting layer 202-1 in the green LED 02 emits green light while the second segment of the red light emitting layer 102-2 in the green LED 02 does not emit light. In the third type of LED 03, the second electrical connector 303 electrically connects the third segment of the red light emitting layer 102-3 and the second segment of the green light emitting layer 202-2 with the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3, such that an electrical voltage applied between the top transparent conductive layer 05 and the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3 is only applied to the first segment of the blue light emitting layer 302-1. As a result, only the first segment of the blue light emitting layer 302-1 in the blue LED 03 emits blue light while the third segment of the red light emitting layer 102-3 and the second segment of the green light emitting layer 202-2 in the blue LED 03 do not emit light.

Referring again to FIG. 3, a top isolation layer 04 and a top transparent conductive layer 05 are arranged on the first type of LED 01, the second type of LED 02, and the third type of LED 03. The top isolation layer 04 covers the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1, the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, the first segment of the third type of light emitting layer 302-1, and the exposed substrate 100. Openings are arranged in the top isolation layer 04 to expose portions of the top surfaces of the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1, the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, and the first segment of the third type of light emitting layer 302-1. The top transparent conductive layer 05 covers the top isolation layer 04 and is formed in the openings of the top isolation layer 04, thereby contacting the exposed top surface of the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1, the exposed top surface of the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, and the exposed top surface of the first segment of the third type of light emitting layer 302-1.

The detailed description of the substrate 100 in the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 3000 with at least three types of LEDs corresponds to the description of FIG. 1 and will be not repeated herein. It should be noted that, the interconnection layer in the IC substrate 100 is electrically connected to the first type of LED 01, the second type of LED 02, and the third type of LED 03. The driver circuit in the IC substrate 100 controls every LED separately.

In the multi-color light emitting pixel units 1000 to 4000 in FIGS. 1 to 4, one or more of the emitting layers 102, 202, and 302 can have micro-gap structures. For example, in the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 1000 shown in FIG. 1, the first type of light emitting layer 102 can have micro-gap structures, or the second type of light emitting layer 202 can have micro-gap structures, or both of the first type of light emitting layer 102 and the second type of light emitting layer 202 can have micro-gap structures. As another example, in the multi-color light emitting pixel unit 3000 shown in FIG. 3, the first type of light emitting layer 102 can have micro-gap structures, or the second type of light emitting layer 202 can have micro-gap structures, or the third type of light emitting layer 302 can have micro-gap structures, or both of the first type of light emitting layer 102 and the second type of light emitting layer 202 can have micro-gap structures, or both of the second type of light emitting layer 202 and the third type of light emitting layer 302 can have micro-gap structures, or both of the first type of light emitting layer 102 and the third type of light emitting layer 302 can have micro-gap structures, or all of the first type of light emitting layer 102, the second type of light emitting layer 202 and the third type of light emitting layer 302 can have micro-gap structures. Herein, each one of the micro-gap structures in the multi-color light emitting pixel units 1000 to 3000 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be, but are not limited to, an air gap. The air gap is sealed.

In step S5021, a mask is formed on the substrate 100 to shield the region without the first electrical connector 203, and the second electrical connector 303, thereby exposing the top and the sidewall of the first segment of the second metal layer 201-1, the sidewall of the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2, and the sidewall of the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of light emitting region A02, and exposing the top and the sidewall of the first segment of the third metal layer 301-1, the sidewall of the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2, the sidewall of the second segment of the second metal layer 201-2, the sidewall of the third segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-3, and the sidewall of the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3 in the third type of light emitting region A03.

In step S5022, a conductive material is deposited on the substrate 100 after completing the step S5021.

In step S5023, referring to FIG. 39, the mask and the conductive material on the mask are removed, so as to form the first electrical connector 203 on the top and the sidewall of first segment of the second metal layer 201-1, the sidewall of the second segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-2, and the sidewall of the second segment of the first metal layer 101-2 in the second type of light emitting region A02, and form the second electrical connector 303 on the top and the sidewall of the first segment of the third metal layer 301-1, the sidewall of the second segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-2, the sidewall of the second segment of the second metal layer 201-2, the sidewall of the third segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-3, and the sidewall of the third segment of the first metal layer 101-3 in the third type of light emitting region A03.

The process of fabricating the shared top electrode layer 05 will be further described hereinafter.

In step S503, referring to FIG. 40, an isolation layer 04 is formed to cover the first type of light emitting region A01, the second type of light emitting region A02, the third type of light emitting region A03, and the surface of the exposed substrate 100. The isolation layer 04 has openings on the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1, on the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, and on the first segment of the third type of light emitting layer 302-1.

In step S504, referring to FIG. 34 again, the continuous shared top electrode layer 05 is formed on the entire substrate 100 after step S503. The shared top electrode layer 05 deposited in the openings is connected to the first segment of the first type of light emitting layer 102-1, to the first segment of the second type of light emitting layer 202-1, and to the first segment of the third type of light emitting layer 302.

As mentioned above, in the method of fabricating the multi-color light emitting pixel unit according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, because the films deposition processes in every type of LED can be performed simultaneously, the LED can be prepared at the same time without being separately prepared, thereby simplifying the processes of fabricating the multi-color light emitting pixel unit and the micro-LED display panel and facilitating large-scale production. As a result of the fabrication method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, different types of LEDs are arranged side by side on a same substrate with a short distance between each other. Therefore, the size of the LEDs and the display panel made of the LEDs can be reduced. For example, the size of each LED can be 40 μm×40 μm. In addition, the tops of the different types of LEDs are not at the same horizontal plane. That is to say, the heights of the different types of LEDs are not the same, so as to expose the different types of light emitting layers on the top of different types of LEDs, thus ensuring the light emitting area and improving emission efficiency of every LED, and improving the integration of various LEDs. A micro-LED display panel formed by the pixel units of the embodiments of the present disclosure has a clear picture display and high resolution. Furthermore, since the electrical connector connects every metal layer in the Mth type of LED, the Mth type of light emitting layer, which is the top light emitting layer, in the Mth type of LED can emit light while the other light emitting layers in the Mth type of LED are short-circuited because the metal layers disposed on both sides of each one of the other light emitting layers are electrically connected to each other. For example, in the Mth type of LED, the first type of light emitting layer is short-circuited because the first type of metal layer and the second type of metal layer disposed on both sides of the first type of light emitting layer are electrically connected with each other; the second type of light emitting layer is short-circuited because the second type of metal layer and the third type of metal layer disposed on both sides of the second type of light emitting layer are electrically connected with each other; and so on. Therefore, various types of LEDs emit light separately without affecting each other. Furthermore, the micro-gap in the light emitting layer can release the stress in the interior of the light emitting layer and avoid warping thereof without influence on the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting layer, so as to improve the product yield.
